I'll join this crowd. I'm mostly a frustrated Republican who gets irritated by the socially conservative stances and preaching of Republican campaigns. I wish the Bush campaign would make a huge deal about how Libya voluntarily gave up their nuclear program, based in no small part on what happened in Iraq, or that allowing Mexican immigrants to be here legally makes a huge amount of sense, instead of focusing so far on opposing Gay Marriage, of all things. I campaigned for a Democrat in Congress that was fiscally very conservative and pro business.

(Mini-Rant)I don't think trial lawyers are to blame for the nation's problems. If the market works everywhere else, let the market decide in the court room, too. Let's try these stupid ass cases instead of running scared or passing legislation to limit awards that makes as much sense as artificial rent controls and does not help insurance premiums for the doctors that lobbied for them.

I posted once that I'm a pragmatic libertarian, and wanted to remind everyone of the one candidate recently that's gotten national media attention who is socially liberal but fiscally conservative and pro national defense -Arnold Schwarzenegger! Now how frustrated is everyone?
